Full Description
Series of enclosures with banked, terraced and ditched boundaries, mainly on the northern part of site. One enclosure at the west end has a distinct platform, probably the building shown on (S1). Another smaller platform at a lower level is to the northeast of this. At the eastern end, a hollow way heading northeast to southwest disappears near to a large platform like area which has terraced enclosure boundaries to the north. The hollow way may be part of the village street alignment as shown on (S2). The other features look more likely to be associated with the now demolished Hall, further southeast.
